about me

i'm one of those leftist liberals you've been warned about and genuinely want to expand the welfare state. i'm obsessed with politics, with a focus on civil rights (race, gender, disability, etc). i love charts and graphs and data. i also love street art and graffiti. i'm far too lazy for proper capitalization and i don't care.

stuff i read a lot

ezra klein, my policy wonk boyfriend
fivethirtyeight, by my statistics boyfriend nate silver
LAist, things around town

Fierce, full-figured icon Beth Ditto discusses her personal style on the Condé Nast-owned website Style.com. (It must be noted: Condé Nast does not usually acknowledge the existence of full-figured women, nor grant them the right to be “stylish,” so this is RATHER A BIG DEAL.) Beth talks about her clothing line, her passion for fashion, and how she loves to break all the rules for plus-sized women (don’t wear horizontal stripes, stay away from floral patterns and crazy colors etc). God, she’s fantastic. (wow)

beth ditto has no time for your fat talk.
